Happy Family, Love and Fidelity Day!

An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

This year, Russia celebrates Family, Love, and Fidelity Day at the official state level for the third time. The holiday came to the secular calendar from the church calendar, where the memory of the holy spouses Peter and Fevronia is honored on July 8.

The traditional family is one of the fundamental values of humanity. In recent years, the Government of the Russian Federation has been seriously working to support this fundamental institution of society. Since January 1, 2025, a new national project "Family" has been in effect, which has become a continuation of the national project "Demography". Its goal is to increase the number of families with children, including large families, and to strengthen family values.

The State University of Management is also working in this direction – with the support of the Ministry of Science and Higher Education of the Russian Federation, it is implementing a single comprehensive model for providing support to representatives of young families in the format of a “single window” system. Also in March of this year, a mother and child room was opened at the university, and in April the 2nd International Scientific Conference “Family in Modern Russian Society” was held.

We congratulate everyone on this bright, kind and important holiday. We wish the students of the State University of Management to find their soul mates, and to those who have already done so – an unquenchable family hearth. Women, support your men, they really need it, even if they don’t show it. Men, show your women signs of attention every day, because they are so pleased. For example, today you can give daisies – a symbol of Family, Love and Fidelity Day.

In his welcoming speech, Vice-Rector for International Affairs of St. Petersburg University Sergey Vladimirovich Andryushin emphasized the importance of the project and thanked the students for their contribution to preserving the historical truth: "You are doing very important work. Thanks to your initiative, the memory of the exploits of our heroes and the most important, fundamental events in the history of our Motherland is preserved. It is very important that this understanding is passed on to new generations. I hope that in the future there will be even more such projects."

The exhibition presents photographs and personal stories of combatants. The main objective of the exhibition is to draw a parallel between the exploits of past and present servicemen and to tell about their selflessness. The students who organized the project are convinced that modern Russian servicemen have the same heroic character as their ancestors, who valiantly fought the enemy, crossed rivers, and stormed Berlin.

The opening of the exhibition "Feat Through the Years" became part of the University's large-scale program dedicated to the 80th anniversary of Victory in the Great Patriotic War. Throughout 2025, St. Petersburg University will host thematic lectures, concerts, and memorial meetings:

Thus, one of the stands tells about the exploits of the heroes of the Great Patriotic War, machine gunner Alexander Matrosov and Hero of Russia, reconnaissance company commander Senior Lieutenant Maxim Peskov, who died sacrificing their lives in order to save their comrades in arms.

Vice-Rector for Educational Work at St. Petersburg State University Vladimir Aleksandrovich Savinov noted that the exhibition allows us to understand the inseparable connection between times: "Such exhibitions at our university are not only a tribute to the heroes of the Great Patriotic War and the special military operation, but also a living connection between times. Now such projects are needed by the entire country, all our citizens, especially those who are at the front today."

The exhibition pays special attention to the continuity of generations, as well as the role of the rear in bringing Victory closer. The exhibition is regularly updated with materials about new heroes, including doctors who saved the lives of their compatriots. Concluding the ceremony, Associate Professor of St. Petersburg University Alexander Petrovich Alekseenko emphasized the importance of preserving traditional spiritual and moral values: "Historical memory, service to the Fatherland and respect for the exploits of the defenders of the Motherland are fundamental values that the University strives to convey to its students and the entire society."
